CHRISTIAN ROWLAND reporting live for ODOGWU MEDIA..live from London. Diego Costa has been ordered by Chelsea to return to training, get match-fit and make himself available for selection.

This is the first hint that Costa could have a future at Stamford
Bridge, after manager Antonio Conte informed him via a text message, to
look for a new club this summer.

Conte later revealed the decision was made in January, when the Spain
striker was pushing for a move to Chinese Super League outfit, Tianjin
Quanjian. The incident led to him being dropped, after a clash with
fitness coach Julio Tous. The 28-year-old striker has since decided he
would rather return to Atletico Madrid, but the clubs are not close to
an agreement.

Talks have stalled and Costa’s lawyers want him released on a free
transfer, because his contract has been breached by Conte’s message.

Costa, whos is in his home town of Lagarto in Brazil, was dropped for
preseason in China and Singapore, after the Blues gave him permission
to negotiate a move away.

Chelsea, however, are not prepared to let Costa languish on the other
side of the Atlantic when he has two years left on a £180,000-a-week
contract and they are short of players.

His return might see tensions heightened within the squad, with Conte
already frustrated with the club’s failure to bring in some of his
transfer targets.

His reservations about the strength of his squad were compounded by the
sale of Nemanja Matic to Manchester United. The Premier League champions
also began the new season with a shock 3-2 home loss to Burnley.

Conte’s current deal expires in 2019, but there are fears he might leave the club if he feels his authority is threatened.

He is already the bookmakers’ favourite to be the next manager to leave.
